@Mark_Goodwin: "the network render engine so that render farms are feasible to use in cross platform environments? A cheap PC server farm is a great way to go, however, Mac OSX clients can't use it. In order to be a useful addition to a production workflow, true cross platform rendering is a must.
I realize that I'm NOT expecting Adobe to jump up and give away the farm on forthcoming products or plans. Just a comment to know that they (the AE product group) are going to address this at some (not too future) date in future version, whether AE 6xx or 7xx or a standalone render update. Whatever. Just a sign to keep clients from switching entire groups from one platform to another in order to enjoy the benefits of network rendering.

    @Mark_Goodwin: "Yes sir, I've been follow that rather closely. The drawback is that it's an all Apple solution. Windows et al is not part of the cluster. Thus the dime falls to Adobe to make this all work.
